A man whose August trial ended in a hung jury pleaded guilty to indecent liberties Monday and will be sentenced next week, according to the Cleveland County District Attorney's Office.

Tracy Leegaynor Miller was originally charged with multiple child rape and other sex offenses in September of 2010 and went to trial two months ago.

He was charged with molesting two girls, one of whom was 7 at the time the abuse began, according to court testimony. The other was between the ages of 10 and 11.

After a week and a half in the courtroom, the case ended in a mistrial when the 12 jurors could not come to a unanimous agreement on a guilty or not guilty verdict.

Following the decision to stop jury deliberations and declare a mistrial, Assistant District Attorney Beth Lari, who prosecuted the case, told The Star she would discuss the next step with the families involved.

She said they had three options.

To dismiss the case, re-try it or offer a plea to Miller.

Lari said Miller is now scheduled to be sentenced Monday.

During the time of the trial, Miller listed a Spartanburg address as his home, but according to court testimony, had lived at several locations in Cleveland County at the time of the abuse.

During the trial, Miller's attorney, David Teddy, said the victims' families had personal issues with Miller and fabricated the whole story.

One of the girls, in an interview summary read in the courtroom during the trial, said she was about 11 years old the first time Miller asked her to take off her clothes.

She said on another occasion, Miller raped her in his bedroom.

She said she never told anyone what happened because she was afraid, according to the interview summary.

The second girl said she was raped at least 10 times, possibly more, starting around the second grade and continuing until she reached the age of 12.

The abuse eventually came to light after a friend encouraged the girls to talk about what happened, according to the investigator.
